    Excellent food. Fish taco and the Shrimp taco were delicious. Nice atmosphere. Outside table. Our server was very personable and attentive. However there was a significant wait for our dessert and check due to the amount of tables he was assigned. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Prices were very reasonable.

    Very pretty outdoor dining venue on the beach. We arrived at 5:00 pm for dinner on Sunday night. Seated outdoors. Very loud music even though it was outdoors- had to shout for conversation. We were approached by two different waiters at different times trying to take our order so it was confusing and this happened 2-3 times before it was straightened up. Restaurant was not even that busy. Drinks and starters were good but entree was only average

    Maybe we visited on an off night. The bar was incredibly slow. First drink took 20 minutes. Second drink showed up after we were done eating. There was some private event near where we were seated that involved teenagers in bathing suits yelling and screaming and loudly bouncing a soccer ball around. Doesn’t exactly make for a relaxing dinner experience. We rarely saw our server. She never asked how our food was. The food was ok. But not better than ok.
